The Dignified Way to Serve Your Clients
The Divorce With Dignity Network is made up of independent divorce specialists who help people obtain a peaceful divorce using alternative, cost-effective, amicable divorce methods. Providers offer a safe place and comfortable environment for clients to discuss the complicated issues of divorce, helping them to divorce as amicably as possible…without the combative environment and expensive legal fees typically associated with a contested divorce.
Divorce planning and facilitation is the core service offering for our Providers. Within this service, you:
- educate and inform your clients so they know what to expect in the divorce process;
- guide them through the divorce maze; and
- depending upon their needs, provide unlimited referrals and coach them around communicating with divorce attorneys, mediators, etc., which helps them save money and stay in control of the process.
Your referral partners may include counselors; conflict resolution; legal services, such as mediators or attorneys; and other services, such as real estate (agents, appraisers, brokers); movers; career counselors; divorce financial help; and support groups, such as hiking, skiing, single groups, divorce support groups, etc.
Our Providers, employing the Divorce With Dignity method, take a holistic approach to divorce so that all of your clients’ needs are met.
Most of our Providers will also offer mediation services to their clients. This is the perfect compliment to our divorce planning and facilitation services.

Law Firm and Mediation Practice Expansion
Would you like to offer your clients a cooperative divorce option, while increasing your income opportunities? Let us share almost three decades of expertise in the market and help you get a consistent flow of new referrals.
Mediation Firms and Family Law Firms that are looking to grow revenue and profits with a strategic expansion of their existing practice services would benefit from an affiliation with Divorce With Dignity.
While it’s true that 95-98% of all divorces in the U.S. are not litigated, a growing number of these potential clients cannot afford litigation or in many circumstances even collaborative mediation. This is a growing trend given the unstable economic environment and chronic high unemployment rates. What’s the alternative? Well in case you haven’t noticed, there has been a surge of Internet legal forms purveyors of the do-it-yourself or cheap divorce for only $99.
Perhaps your firm or practice is facing some tough economic times, like everyone else, and clients are balking at high fees for litigation or even mediation. Do you have a third alternative for your clients? In business marketing, it’s called a good, better, best product/service offering. If you don’t offer all three levels of service, you are letting potential revenue walk out your front door.
Many general practice law firms are also looking for ways to increase revenue and increase the specialization of their legal services to prevent further encroachment from larger law firms in their markets. Divorce With Dignity with its unique business model is ideally positioned to assist these smaller firms to find a niche in lower cost value-added peaceful divorce services. This is truly a new business opportunity for general practice firms because many people have lost faith in the traditional system of divorce resolution.
Again, are you trying to grow your business without having all the services your clients, need, want, and deserve? And, why should you lose incremental business revenue to the online option for divorce services that is faceless and ill-equipped, (not legal professionals) to help people through a truly legal process? Without a low-cost option, like Divorce With Dignity, that is safe and administrated by legal professionals, people are throwing their money away because they don’t understand the forms.
Other reasons to consider offering peaceful divorce services are:
- You can add this new revenue stream without increasing your overhead (since you already have a going legal practice with an office, conference room, telephone, computers, insurance, etc.).
- You likely have a legal secretary or paralegal that may not be fully utilized in your office or you might be sharing a paralegal or renting one at very high per diem rates that could be brought on full time.
- This service can be performed by your legal secretary or paralegal and turn their overhead expense into a profit center.
- Opportunities for referral business from the service you provide to your DWD clients
- More than an online forms service, but less than litigation.
- Divorce With Dignity offers personal guidance and facilitation to those seeking a peaceful or collaborative divorce.
- The price of Divorce With Dignity services is affordable to the greatest number of people seeking a divorce today.
The Next Step
As a business owner, are you ready to start expanding your divorce services options or adding peaceful divorce services to your general law practice or mediation firm? Do you want a new revenue stream without adding overhead for a small investment that will pay you back many times over (which can be executed by your support staff)?
